[AT] Confessing a complete lack of knowledge here

If that's a tube designed for being fluid filled, there's a distinct
possibility that when the "cap" was removed that it came apart at the
wrong place and the whole core came loose instead.  If that's the case,
there may be nothing wrong with your cores.

Like you, I was waiting for farmer to chime in.  I'll not be doing 
anything right away in case there are a few more "tips" to consider.  I 
really don't think the tire needs replacing - a new tube, maybe.  Rather

than wrestling with the wheel I think I'll suggest they get someone with

the tools and experience to fix things but it is nice to "chew the fat" 
a bit before embarking.  Probably not a really pressing problem as today

was the first use the tractor had since last spring.
Thanks.
David
